End. Beginning. "The End." "In
the beginning..." The English lan-guage
contains these descriptive
words which serve to enclose
events that make up the stories we
tell to ourselves about ourselves,
creating a conti-iuum of narratives,
each with beginning and end.
But words can fail when de-scribing
this, our senior year in
college. At the pinnacle of an edu-cational
experience shared only by
a minority of Americans, the sen-ior
year represents the end of the
party, the completion of a serious
course of study, the close of an
era. Time stops for no one, and
graduation is imminent.
But, one might say, the senior
year is a beginning. We have en-tered
adulthood, begun the search
for career and profession and are
now faced with the "real world."
Is the senior year an end providing
closure to an undergraduate expe-rience
or is it the beginning of
adult life?
Both are correct views. The sen-
. ior year is a threshold, the place
where the known ends and the un-known
begins. What makes the
senior year so special is this curi-ous
existence on the verge, the
brink, the threshold. We seek to
prolong the joys of youth — our
ability to sleep until noon on Tues-days,
to explore the depths of hu-man
knowledge, to imagine and
daydream, and to obtain a credit
card with no job, credit history, or
assets. Yet we are adults, or so we
repeatedly claim, yearning to enter
that world in which we have re-sponsibility
both for ourselves and
for others in the work place, in the
home, and in our adult relation-ships.
A senior is this creature on
the threshold, poised between the
comfortable world of Saturday
morning cartoons, late night rap
sessions in dorm rooms. Mom's
home cooking, and the unknown
somewhat frightening yet enticing
adult world of car phones, busi-ness
lunches, red tape, mortgage
payments, and the magic word,
independence.
The threshold time is a marve-lous
time. As a time of endings
and beginnings, we can look back,
surveying the ground over which
we have crossed as well as looking
forward, hoping and speculating
about the road ahead.
As a record of those times we
had, this book records the lives of
a group of very special people at a
very special place. We came to
Tulane as hesitant, bewildered
freshmen, unsure of our new
world and our place in it. In a very
short time, we have grown in con-fidence
and maturity, secure in
ourselves and in our alma mater.
The relationships we have created,
the ideas and knowledge we have
shared, the people we have helped,
the records we have set, the
awards we have won — all these
serve to show that upon ourselves,
upon our loved ones, and upon Tu-lane,
the Class of 1991 has made a
memorable and lasting IMPACT.

Newcomb
Newcomb College was founded
in 1886 by Josephine Louise New-comb
in honor of her daughter,
Sophie. The College moved to its
present location on Broadway in
1918. Until the middle of the
twentieth century, Newcomb func-tioned
as a coordinate division of
Tulane. In 1945, the women of
Newcomb and the men of Arts &
Sciences were allowed to cross
register and, by 1967, all classes
were co-ed. Newcomb's indepen-dence
was reaffirmed in 1987. The
faculties of the two colleges were
combined, but each retained con-trol
over its own affairs.
Newcomb College focuses on
offering women the finest oppor-tunities
to improve their academic,
personal and leadership skills.
Newcomb students can share in all
the advantages of the diverse Tu-lane
community and participate in
the many programs offered by the
college dedicated to the improve-ment
of women, such as the Wom-en's
Studies major.
Newcomb maintains its sense of
identity through various traditions,
such as the annual Spring Arts
Festival, the Mardi Gras Ball pre-sented
by the Krewe of Oaks, and
Celebrate Newcomb Week.

Architecture
Founded in 1884, the oldest
school of architecture in the South
is located in the Richardson Me-morial
Hall on the Tulane Univer-sity
campus. The former medical
school building contains studios,
lecture and seminar rooms, an ex-hibition
lobby, a computer-aided
design facility, a workshop, and an
architecture library.
In addition to offering a nation-ally
accredited five year degree
program, the school sponsors fall
and spring lecture series, preserva-tion
and architecture symposia,
and summer programs in Venice
and Greece. Student-faculty inter-action
is high due to the small
class size. The Architectural Coa-lition,
a student-faculty collabora-tive
practice, is involved in local
and national design projects.
The Architecture School prides
itself on the diversity and creativi-ty
of the student body. The best
known tradition of the school
which exemplifies these qualities
is the annual Beaux Arts Ball.
-Keith Gerchak
Business
The business school of Tulane
University has a history almost as
long as the university itself. The
first professor of commerce in
Louisiana began teaching in 1847
in the academic department of the
University of Louisiana, forerun-ner
of Tulane University. The lat-ter
half of the century saw the re-organization
of the university with
the gift of Paul Tulane and the es-tablishment
of a separate College
of Commerce. By 1915, the Col-lege
began its first degree-granting
program, leading to both a Bache-lor
of Arts and Bachelor of Busi-ness
Administration and had be-come
one of the 17 founding
institutions of the American Asso-ciation
of Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB).
The modern A.B. Freeman
School of Business continues to
promote excellence in preparation
for work in the world of business
at both the graduate and under-graduate
levels, with the Execu-tive
MBA program ranked among
the top 20 in the country.

Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Scienc-es
traces its history back to the
founding of the University of
Louisiana in 1847 and the estab-lishment
of a department for in-struction
in arts and letters. De-spite
a seventeen year hiatus due
to the Civil War and Reconstruc-tion,
this academic department re-mained
a vital part of the Univer-sity.
With Paul Tulane's gift in
1884, when the uptown campus
was purchased, Tulane College
was split into the College of Tech-nology
and the College of Arts
and Sciences.
Unlike their predecessors who
commuted to the "streetcar" col-lege
in the swamps to the west of
the city of New Orleans, the mod-ern
students of A&S live on cam-pus
and in the surrounding resi-dential
neighborhoods. The
College remains dedicated, how-ever,
to providing a challenging
education to capable, motivated
students, continuing the long tradi-tion
of excellence.
-Scott Hetrick
Enj^inccring
Originally part of Tulane Col-lege
and later named the School of
Technology, the College of Engi-neering
has long been devoted to
providing the best possible educa-tion
to its students, seeking the
best equipment, faculty and pro-grams.
The majority of students
participate in the four-year under-graduate
programs leading to a
Bachelor of Science in Engineer-ing,
choosing one of six possible
concentrations: biomedical, chem-ical,
civil, computer, electrical, or
mechanical. In addition, the Col-lege
offers a B.S. in Computer
Science and an "Engineering Cur-riculum"
special program which
enables undergraduates to study
such areas as engineering manage-ment,
engineering science, applied
physics, technical writing, or envi-ronmental
engineering. The Col-lege
remains a vital part of Tulane
by maintaining its strong, separate
identity while reflecting the over-all
excellence of the University.
-Natalie Priebe
University College
University College was estab-lished
in 1942 as the continuing
education division of Tulane. It re-ceived
its name because its offer-ings
cut across university academ-ic
fields. The College offers
degree programs, certificate pro-grams,
and non-credit courses to
meet the part-time educational
needs of the adults of the New Or-leans
community, the demands of
international students and the re-quirements
of a limited number of
full-time students in special degree
areas. The College shares in the
traditions of Tulane, extending the
commitments and resources of the
University beyond customary aca-demic
boundaries. The programs
are designed to answer the chal-lenges
of an increasingly technical
and specialized society -- one in
which continuing personal growth
is an important asset.
-Kelly Bankston
The word "activity" is derived
from "active," which is defined as
"working hard or with energy;
busy and energetic" or "in a state
of action, not passive or quies-cent."
The thousands of Tulane
students involved in student activi-ties
epitomize these definitions.
Every day of the week, at any
hour, Tulane students are working,
changing, helping, administrating
and affecting. It is here that Tu-lane's
Class of 1991 has made a
significant IMPACT.
The Associated Student Body
(ASB) is one of Tulane's most vis-ible
groups. Composed of repre-sentatives
from every college, the
ASB actively represents the inter-ests
and ideas of the student body,
providing a forum for change
based on the student viewpoint of
the University. The ASB members
of the Class of 1991 helped in the
major accomplishments of the
year; including the publication of
course evaluations and the instal-lation
of an off-campus shuttle.
Student Activities
w
Celebrate Difference, although
only three years old, played an ac-tive
role in the education of the
Tulane community in the value of
diversity. Some 40 campus organi-zations
are affiliated with the Cel-ebrate
Difference pact of non-toleration
for racism, sexism, and
other forms of prejudice, hatred
and discrimination.
One of the fastest growing
groups on campus during 1990-91
was the Green Club. The major
task of the club was its effort to
promote environmental awareness
in the university community, rais-ing
the consciousness of adminis-trators,
students, faculty, and staff
about the issues of environmental
impact. By working with the ASB,
the administration and Recycle
Tulane, the Green Club has moved
Tulane towards its goal of a cam-pus-
wide recycling program.

Nights and weekends would not
be the same without TUCP, Tu-lane
University Campus Program-ming.
As one of the largest organi-zations
on campus, TUCP keeps
everyone active, providing mo-vies,
speakers, concerts, and
TGIFs, as well as special events
like the annual All-Nighter.
CACTUS, the Community Ac-tion
Council of Tulane University
Students, sends hundreds of highly
motivated volunteers into the cam-pus
and the community each se-mester.
The range of the 18 major
CACTUS projects illustrates the
level of activity among Tulane stu-dents
and how they can make an
impact on the wider world. CAC-TUS
volunteers contradict the
myth of student apathy by tutoring
underprivileged children in hous-ing
projects, volunteering in hospi-tals,
teaching illiterate adults to
read, providing first aid to revelers
at Mardi Gras, tutoring prisoners,
working in soup kitchens, support-ing
peers on the Peer Support Net-work
hotline, raising money to
combat multiple sclerosis ... the
list goes on and on. These volun-teers
are certainly "in a state of
action."
The creative student can find
many opportunities to be energet-ic,
and Tulane seniors were in the
forefront of creative production.
Diversity of outlets seemed to be
the rule, with students involved in
writing, editing, and photography
for the Hullabaloo, writing and
drawing for the Tulane Literary
Magazine, acting in Campus Nite
and Tulane Theatre productions,
singing in the Tulanians, playing
in the Sound Wave, forming new
groups such as the dance team
Shock Wave and the musical trio
Showstoppers, and producing sev-eral
weekly television shows with
the Tulane University Video Ac-cess
Center(TUVAC).
WTUL, at 91.5 on your FM
dial, provides a fascinating variety
of music. The highly touted station
is firmly established in the New
Orleans music scene as the pro-gressive
alternative to commercial
radio, with programming that in-cludes
new age, progressive, clas-sical,
country, thrash metal, jazz
and other New Orleans inspired
music. The most visible impact
that the station makes on the com-munity
has been and continues to
be the Rock-On Survival Mara-thon
Weekend. This event is held
each spring to raise money for the
purpose of continued operation.
WTUL Marathon is the biggest
quad party of the year. By provid-ing
two to three days of fun in the
sun with local bands, an arts &
crafts fair, food stands and WTUL
t-shirt sales, the radio station
makes a substantial impact on the
student body.
Every year, the Student Admis-sion
Committee (SACj catches a
glimpse of the future of the uni-versity.
As ambassadors represent-ing
Tulane to the thousands of
high school students who journey
to New Orleans in the search for
the ideal college choice, SAC
members provide an enthusiastic,
energetic summary of what Tulane
is and can be. By hosting students,
giving tours of the campus, and
working with the Office of Under-graduate
Admissions in the organ-ization
of the two Preview Confer-ences
in the spring, the Student
Admission Committee attempts to
impart the spirit of the energetic
activity of campus life to those
who will continue the tradition of
students making an IMPACT.
Athletics
A "slam dunk," a
"sack," a "zulu," a
"grand-slam," a "goal," a
"spike": these terms rep-resent
moments of deter-mination
and spirit, skill
and teamwork. Tulane
sports, both club and
varsity, have many
players who exhibit
these qualities as they
strive to make an
IMPACT on the score-board,
the fans, and the
record books.
Women's Volleyball
The Tulane Lady
Wave volleyball team
finished with an overall
record of 19-13 and a
Metro Conference
record of 2-6. This
record placed the team
sixth in regular season
conference competition.
The most significant
player was senior Erin
Fogarty, who provided
much of the leadership
for the team. Recording
561 kills and 399 digs in
the year and leading the
team in both categories,
Fogarty was named to
the All-Metro team with
her career high 39 kills
against Auburn.
Sailing
With Ail-American
Alex Ascencios, A&S
senior, at the helm, the
Tulane Sailing Club had
a tremendous fall semes-ter.
The club won the
Longhom Cup in Austin
early in the semester and
won the First Dinghy
Qualifier the next week-end
in Mobile. The club
returned to familiar wa-ters
with its victory at
the Southeastern Inter-collegiate
Sailing Asso-ciation
Sloop District
Qualifiers on Lake Pon-chartrain
in late Septem-ber.
The month of October
saw victories for Tulane
at the Naval Academy's
Fall Invitational, at
which Tulane placed
eighth out of 20, and the
Baldwin Wood Memori-al
Fall Invitational, at
which Tulane took the
overall team title. As-cencios
went on to sail
in Kalamazoo, Mich, in
the Single-Handed Na-tional
Championships,
securing a third place
finish.
Tulane raced in the
Charleston Fall Invita-tional,
taking first place.
and the Intercollegiate
Yacht Racing Associa-tion
Sloop National
Championships, coming
in second. Tulane was
ranked seventh national-ly
at the end of the se-mester,
an accomplish-ment
for a club team in a
sport dominated by var-sity
teams.

Rugby
The Tulane Rugby
Club celebrated its 23rd
anniversary in 1990 and
had a very good season.
With 70 members from
Tulane and Loyola, the
team came very close to
winning the national
championships. The
club was divided into
two teams: an A team
which included under-graduates
from Tulane
and Loyola, and a B
team comprised of grad-uate
students from those
schools.
The club had several
major victories in the
fall semester. The first
was its victory at the
Deep South Champion-ship
for university Rug-by
clubs in October, at
which the A team de-feated
Southern Missis-sippi
18-0, Southeastern
Louisiana 13-0, and
LSU 12-9. The very
next weekend, the A
team went on to defeat
the New Orleans Rugby
Club, the Deep South
men's rugby club cham-pions.
While not partici-pating
in the Deep South
tournament, the B team,
a member of the SEC,
went to Athens, Ga. for
the SEC tournament.
Coming in second at the
tournament, the B team
defeated Georgia State
18-0, Savannah College
of Architecture 6-3, Uni-versity
of Alabama 26-9,
but lost the final match
against University of
Georgia 12-3.
Men's Soccer
Despite an early sea-son
violation of the club
sports rules about alco-hol
at sporting events,
the men's soccer team
11
went on to place second
in the SEC in the fall. A
high point of the semes-ter
was the shutout of
LSU, the first defeat of
the Tigers since 1987.
The game was marred
by a bench-clearing
brawl in the last 30 sec-onds
when an LSU
player spat in the face of
a Tulane player near the
Tulane goal. The team
was undefeated for a
major portion of the se-mester
until losing to the
University of Southern
Mississippi at the Gulf
Coast League Champi-onship
held at Tulane.
With a record of 5-1-2,
the team took second
place in the SEC.
Baseball
The big news for Tu-lane
baseball fans in the
fall semester was the
dedication of the
Turchin Stadium.
Named for Robert and
Lillian Turchin, who
have been benefactors of
Tulane baseball for
many years, the stadium
was expanded to hold
3,000 people and a light-ing
system to enable Tu-lane
night baseball. Due
to concerns about
crowds and noise, only
about half of the games
were to be played under
the lights.
Men's Basketball
With a 4-24 record in
the first year back after a
five-year hiatus, the
Green Wave men's bas-ketball
team looked for-ward
to a much im-proved
season at the
start of the 1990-91
year. Hoops were defi-nitely
back at Tulane as
the Fogelman Arena
consistently was packed
with capacity crowds.
As perhaps the most
popular sport of Tulane
students, the team did
not disappoint its many
fans. 1989 was the year
12
hoops came back to Tu-lane;
1990 was the year
the team matured and
improved. The frenzy of
the first year was in-creased
as the Wave
won game after game.
1990 was the year of
the "Posse," led by sen-ior
Michael Christian
and consisting of fresh-men
Kim Lewis, Carlin
Hartman, and Makeba
Perry. Coming in all at
once after the first few
minutes of every game
and relieving every
player except 1989
Freshman-of-the-Year
Anthony Reed, the
Posse was Coach Perry
Clark's weapon to con-trol
the tempo of the
game.
Senior Joe Passi did
not have much game
time but was a perennial
crowd favorite, as "Pas-si's
Posse" was formed
among fans rooting for
the "genial giant."
In tripling the number
of wins over the 1989-
90 season with a 15-12
regular season record,
the Wave appeared
posed for continued suc-cess.
This was mainly
due to the youth of the
team, with sophomores
Anthony Reed (for-ward),
G.J. Hunter
(guard), and Matt Popp
(center), and juniors
Greg Gary (guard) and
David Whitmore (guard/
forward) rounding out
the starting lineup.
Similar to the 1989-
90 season, the young
team captured a dazzling
victory that will resonate
in the minds of Tulane
fans for a long time to
come. Twentieth-ranked
University of New Or-leans,
a cross town rival,
came to Fogelman
13
Arena expecting victory.
What they got was a
game that stretched to
double overtime and a
Wave victory 84-83 on
David Whitmore's win-ning
three-pointer at the
horn. Hoops were defi-nitely
back and posi-tioned
for a long and
glorious stay.
Football
The Tulane football
team had one of those
seasons in which the
team displayed spirit
and skill, but were de-nied
victory because of
bad breaks. The season
was rough as the Wave
ended with a 4-7 record.
14
But this record was
somewhat deceiving.
Aside from a horrendous
48-6 loss to the Univer-sity
of Southwestern
Louisiana, Tulane lost
three games by one
touchdown or less. With
a little luck and fewer
hard breaks, the record
might have been 7-4.
Tulane was showing
much improvement by
the end of the season.
The 26-24 upset of
bowl-bound Syracuse
and the heart-wrenching
16-13 loss to LSU
showed how capable the
team was, losing to LSU
on the scoreboard but
dominating the Tigers in
time of possession, num-ber
of forced turnovers,
and overall yardage.
The Green Wave was
led by senior Deron
Smith at quarterback.
The receiving corps was
outstanding as usual and
led by seniors Melvin
Ferdinand and Jeff Kin-yo.
Tulane's running at-tack
was a strong asset
this year with under-classmen
Terrence
Strickland and Chance
Miller as its mainstays.
Once again, Tulane
played tough defense as
the key positions were
manned by returning
seniors Jay Rink, Leroy
Brown, Pat Stant, Bryan
Ryder, Lenzer Burton,
Corey Dowden, Vince
Mulmore, Mike Riley,
Darrell Sherer and An-drew
Treadway.

Tidal
Wave '90
Tidal Wave '90, "Tracking the
Big One," began Tuesday, Oct. 23
with a football player appreciation
and song competition night in Der
Rathskeller. Spirits were rising on
campus Wednesday as the Inter-fraternity
Council All-Star game
was played on the UC Quad. Go
Green Day provided the back-ground
for the Spirit and Games
Competition on Thursday. Greeks,
residence halls and student organi-zaitons
battled one another on
Bruff Quad in volleyball, water
balloon toss, three-legged and
wheelbarrow races, human pyra-mid
building and cheering compe-titions.
After all the throwing, fall-ing,
shouting, tossing, cheering,
groaning and general craziness
had passed, AKA, ZBT, Zemurray
and the Hullabaloo were declared
the winners.
Tulane students participated in a
tidal wave's worth of activities on
Friday afternoon and evening. Be-ginning
at 3 p.m. on the UC Quad,
the Tidal Wave carnival, complete
with a space jump, games of
chance, make-your-own tape
booth and balloon-twisting clown,
entertained students as they waited
for the end of the McAlister Mile
Race and Homecoming Parade.
Just after 102 runners completed
the race, the Tidal Wave parade
poured down McAlister. The pa-rade
featured the Homecoming
Court, led by King Bill Lombard
and Queen Dm McGovem, and in-cluded
marching units and floats
created by such groups as the Pan-hellenic
Council, the Navy ROTC,
several fraternities, the cheerlead-ers
and others.
A Tulane favorite, Charmaine
Neville, took the stage at 5:30
p.m. before a large and enthusias-tic
crowd on the UC Quad. After
her spirited hour and a half perfor-mance,
Charmaine handed the
stage over to Tidal Wave member
Ted Bittenbender, who began the
pep rally be introducing the Court,
Coach Greg Davis, and the Tulane
Green Wave football team. The
cheerleaders led the crowd in sev-eral
spirited cheers. President Ea-mon
Kelly made an appearance,
telling the crowd to keep up the
noise and cheering and go on to
win Homecoming! After the pep
rally, the festivities continued into
the night with a performance by
the band Common Knowledge.
The emotional high continued
to be maintained at the Great Tail-gate
Party, sponsored by TUSAA.
Meeting at the Heliport next to the
Superdome, some 400 students,
alumni and friends of the universi-ty
rocked with WCKW's Weird
Wayne, who was broadcasting live
from the site. With food and
drinks provided by the Boot,
Lucky Dog and Domino's and
spirited cheers led by the Tulane
cheerleaders, the mood was festive
at the Heliport. The Tulane Navy
16
ROTC turned out in force, with a
tailgate party setup worthy of D-Day.
The level of excitement was
high as the Tulane fans entered the
Superdome. The team seemed to
be excited as well and did not dis-appoint
the fans. The Tulane
Green Wave drowned the Cincin-nati
Bearcats by the score of 49-7.
After the victory, it was time again
to party. Throngs of students
moved from the Dome of Doom to
the French Market Room of the
Hyatt Regency for the Tidal Wave
Dance. With music provided by
Rockin' Dopsie, Tribe Nunzio, and
George Porter and Friends, Tulane
students danced the night away.
Congratulations were the order
of the day for Tidal Wave Chair-man
J. Maddox, Vice-Chairman
Stephanie Pearson, and Secretary
Rachel Epstein as well as to the
rest of the dedicated staff. Their
efforts created a tremendous week
of great activities.

The Year in Review
Members of the Class of 1991
entered their final year of under-graduate
study during a year of
momentous events on the local,
national, and international levels.
The nature of these events ranged
from the ridiculous to the sublime.
The future of the world and of in-dividual
countries was changed
forever; the local night life was
also changed. Our lives were
threatened, our horizons were
broadened, our money was spent.
It seemed that, as the year pro-gressed,
the students of Tulane
were living under the ancient Chi-nese
curse "May you live in inter-esting
dmes."
Politics
1990 was the year of the Sav-ings
and Loan crisis in which the
United States saw a potential col-lapse
of part of the country's bank-ing
system. As attempts were
made to continue under the provi-sions
of the Graham-Rudmann
Act, President George "Read My
Lips" Bush reneged on campaign
promises and instituted increased
taxation.
In Louisiana, former Grand
Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan Da-vid
Duke attempted to move be-yond
his 81st District power base
in the State Senate to run for the
office of U.S. Senator. Reacdons
on both sides of the political fence
were heated. While the GOP dis-owned
any connection with Duke,
and Tulane students joined in the
protests against his campaign, his
popularity continued to grow. The
final results illustrated a division
among voters in the state, with a
relatively narrow margin of victo-ry
for Bennett Johnston, incum-bent
Senator.
On the international scene, the
most momentous event of the year
was the incredibly fast pace of re-form
in Eastern Europe. While the
process began in 1989, 1990 saw
the reunificadon of Germany and
the transformadon of the majority
of Eastern European countries into
democracies. Meanwhile, Soviet
President Gorbachev sought to
continue the process of perestroi-ka.
Faced with struggles for inde-pendence
from several of the So-viet
republics, he increased his
personal power, which created a
tense situation in the USSR with
the possibility of civil war.
While Gorbachev was attempt-ing
to gain more power, and Bush
was exercising more of his own
power, the fall of British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher ended
an era in British politics. Having
taken control of Britain before
Reagan's election in the States, the
"Iron Lady" lost the support of her
party when faced with the fire-storm
of opposition to the poll tax
she attempted to initiate.
Events continued to grow even
more dangerous in the Middle
East as Saddam Hussein of Iraq
invaded the oil-rich emirate of Ku-wait
after negotiations over Ku-wait's
violation of oil and border
agreements broke down. The year
1991 began on an ominous note
after the forceful response of
George Bush and the initiation of
war with Iraq after five months of
negodations and sanctions. Fortu-nately,
the war ended quickly by
late February with surprisingly
few allied casualties and a new
burst of nadonal pride.
New Orleans
Part of the dangers of living in
an urban setdng undergoing a de-pression
is the real danger of
crime. Despite all warnings and
precautions, the Uptown area saw
an increase in criminal activity in
the first semester of the 1990-91
academic year. The entire campus
was rocked by the murder of Kar-en
Knupp, Newcomb senior, early
in the semester. A number of mug-gings
and break-ins followed, and
a shoodng occurred on State
Street, which fortunately resulted
in no fatalides. Crime came to
Monroe Hall in the form of two in-truders
and an attempted rape.
The response of the University
community was relatively swift.
Security mearsures were tightened
with the addition of a front desk
check-in operation in the freshman
residence halls. The University
hired off-duty NOPD officers to
patrol the area surrounding the
campus over which Tulane Securi-ty
has no jurisdiction. A new shut-tle
program was implemented for
students, faculty, and staff parked
in the near campus vicinity. Semi-nars
on how to be safe in the Big
Easy also were promoted.
On a more positive note, the
city saw the opening of the Aquar-ium
of the Americas on Labor Day
1990. Providing a large source of
tourist revenue for the city, the
Aquarium was also visited by Tu-lane
students eager to go "under
the sea." Attendance records were
set and broken as the Aquarium
met its first year attendance goal
in just four months.
The night life for present and
future Tulanians was affected with
the closing of Friar Tuck's, The
Absolute Bar & Grill, and Chari-ty's.
Tuck's, a New Orleans tradi-tion
since the 1940s, mourned its
passing with a going-out-of-business
party on Halloween.
But new bars seemed to spring
up to take the place of old favor-ites.
While many freshmen will
not remember The Metro, those of
us in the Class of 1991 probably
still have our Metro bucket from
"Growler Night" around some-where.
Just as The Metro replaced
Tin Lizzie's at the end of the
1970s, so too was The Metro re-placed
by Waldo's at the end of
the 1980s.
Despite grand openings and
farewell parties at other bars,
A.T.n's remained the undisputed
favorite of Tulane students. A
close contender was the pre-A.T.'s
stop, the Rendon Inn. Drink spe-cials
kept bars like Nick's, Ms.
Mae's, Cooter Brown's, The Boot,
Le Bon Temps Roulez and Madi-gan's
filled to capacity, while Fat
Harry's and F&M's stayed open
for the late night crowd. Down in
22
the Quarter, Tropical Isle main-tained
its position as a local bar in
a tourist section as Tulane students
ventured there to hear Late As
Usual and drink the "Hand Gre-nade"
and the "Tropical Itch."
Another grand opening reflect-ed
the major reason why the ma-jority
of us were here in New Or-leans.
Larry's Bookstore opened
near campus at the begining of the
fall semester, providing competi-tion
for the Tulane bookstore and
books for the vast number of
classes offered at the University.
Mardi Gras 1991. Need we say
more?
On Campus
As usual, TUCP brought excel-lent
concerts to campus in 1990.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo ap-peared
in McAlister in the spring,
while Bruce Homsby and the
Range and the Indigo Girls were
on campus in the fall. Local musi-cians
like Tribe Nunzio, George
Porter, Smilin' Myron, Walter
"Wolfman" Washington, and
Charmaine Neville came to or ap-peared
at Tulane functions from
TGIF to Homecoming.
Bill Lombard headed the ASB
ticket and fulfilled its campaign
promise with the publication of
course evaluation booklets early in
the fall semester.
The Class of 1991 witnessed the
"end of registration as we knew it"
as the Registrar's office initiated
TUTOR, the new online telephone
registration system. While a mi-nority
considered TUTOR a
SNAFU, most students, faculty
and staff welcomed the new addi-tion
to campus.
1990 also saw an outpouring of
sympathy and support for David
Bourgeois, Arts & Sciences sen-ior.
David, a victim of leukemia,
needed expensive bone marrow
transplant operations. His family's
insurance company had gone
bankrupt due to an S&L failure
and was in desperate need of assi-tance.
A variety of campus groups
came together to raise money for
the campaign to save David's life.
The campus gained a new addi-tion
of an interesting character in
the fall semester. He was intri-guing
to many and infuriating to
others. Louis Rothbard, an inde-pendently
wealthy alumnus, chose
to spend his time on campus read-ing
poetry and discussing a variety
of subjects with Tulane students.
After Rothbard was evicted from
campus and asked not to return by
Security in the middle of the se-mester,
a group of pro-Louis sup-porters
gathered in front of Presi-dent
Kelly's house demanding his
right to return.
In the spring of 1991, one of the
largest student-run conventions in
the country took place on Tulane's
campus, the Campus Outreach Op-portunity
League (COOL) Nation-al
Convention. TTie eight colleges
and universities in New Orleans
joindy sponsored the event, show-ing
off city and campus volunteer
programs to hundreds of students
while examining issues of commu-nity
service. With approximately
2,000 students from all parts of the
United States participating in the
four day conference, the conven-tion
was a huge success.
Pop Culture
A major question on the minds
of many was, "Who killed Laura
Palmer?" The off-beat serial, mur-der
mystery, twisted soap opera,
"Twin Peaks," produced by David
Lynch (of "Eraserhead," "Blue
Velvet," "The Elephant Man" and
"Wild at Heart" fame) became a
smash hit in 1990. Representing
the new network willingness to
take risks, "Twin Peaks" captured
the imagination of the nation with
its bizarre characters, storyline,
and Lynch's characteristically odd
directorial viewpoint.
With "Pretty Woman" and
"Ghost" dominating the box of-fice,
1990 seemed to be the year in
which romance came back into
vogue. But this new romanticism
was tempered by quality films that
dealt with adult sexuality in graph-ic
terms. "Henry and June" affect-ed
the movie rating system with
the introduction of the "NC-17"
rating in replacement of the "X"
rating. Unfortunately, this ruling-was
too late to save "The Cook,
The Thief, His Wife and Her Lov-er,"
one of the year's best films.
"The Simpsons" and the "Teen-age
Mutant Ninja Turtles" were
perhaps the most prolific icons of
pop culture in 1990. They ap-peared
on cups, as toys, on
clothes, blankets, light fixtures ...
the list was long and diverse. Like
their predecessors "Strawberry
Shortcake" and "He-Man," the
vast level of popularity was based
on the ruthless marketing of popu-lar
cartoon characters in a variety
of settings.

Much of the University's great-ness
comes from its history — the
combined influence of each of its
alumni. We as students benefit
greatly from those who have come
before us, and we hope that those
who follow may benefit as well.
No one can question that the
people of Tulane have made it
into the great institution it is to-day.
Therefore, the best way to en-sure
the continued success of the
University is to bring together the
people of its past, present, and fu-ture.
Beginning this year, there is a
new student organization on cam-pus
that is dedicated to linking stu-dents
and alumni. The Tulane Uni-versity
Student Alumni
Association (TUSAA) is commit-ed
to helping students realize the
importance of their role in
Tulane's future. TUSAA wants
students to recognize that their re-lationship
with the University con-tinues
even after graduation.
As a founding officer of TU-SAA,
I can certainly see the chal-lenges
that lie before us in the
years ahead. But even after only
one semester, TUSAA has gained
a reputation as one of the most ex-citing
and promising groups on
campus. Students, faculty, and
staff are enjoying getting to know
Tulane's alumni and their achieve-ments.
TUSAA sponsored the Ca-reers
Pancake Brunch and the
Great Tailgate Party during Home-coming,
and we have just finished
producing IMPACT '91, Tulane's
first senior yearbook. I am sure
that everyone is looking forward
to future events and activities with
students and alumni.
TUSAA offers a way for stu-dents
to learn what role they can
play in Tulane's future. But equal-ly
important, it provides alumni
the perfect opportunity to become
reacquainted with their alma mater
and the dedicated young men and
women who make up its present
student body. Many things have
changed since they studied here,
but at least one thing remains the
same. Students have a devotion to
the University that I hope will
never fade from our hearts. We
are Tulanians forever, and may
we always fondly remember that
place "where the trees are ever
greenest, where the skies are pur-est
blue."

To the Class of 1991
Congratulations and welcome to
the TULANE ALUMNI ASSO-CIATION!
The Association is the
umbrella organization for Tulane
alumni from all schools and col-leges.
We offer a variety of pro-grams,
opportunities and services,
listed below. Please call the Alum-ni
House for additional informa-tion:
(504)865-5901.
REUNIONS:
You don't have to wait five
years to visit your alma mater and
keep in touch with your class-mates.
The CLASS OF 1991 will
have its "0" year reunion at
Homecoming, November 8-9,
1991. In addition, all classes have
reunions every five years. Start
spreading the word NOW!
COUNCIL CITIES:
Alumni councils are organized
in 20 cities (listed below). The
council volunteers in these cities
host a variety of educational and
social events throughout the year.
Alumni also provide invaluable
assistance with the recruiting of
prospective new students. The
Councils will be expanding their
services in assisting with career
networking and community ser-vice
work in the upcoming years.
Becoming involved with an alum-ni
council is a great way to stay in
touch with the university and fel-low
alumni. Call the Alumni
House for a contact in your area:
Atlanta, Austin, Baton Rouge,
Birmingham, Boston, Chicago,
Dallas, Houston, Lafayette, Los
Angeles, Memphis, Miami, New
York, North Shore of Lake Pon-chartrain,
Philadelphia, Puerto
Rico, St. Louis, San Antonio, San
Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
Councils will be organized in the
following cities in the near future:
Alexandria, Gulf Coast, Lake
Charles, Nashville, New Orleans,
Shreveport, and Tampa.
CREDIT CARD:
The Alumni Association is
pleased to offer graduating seniors
and alumni a Tulane Visa or
MasterCard. The Tulane credit
card has no first-year fee. After
the first year, the annual fee is $12
for Visa, MasterCard or both. The
annual percentage rate is only
15.5%, with no interest charged
when you pay your entire balance
by the due date. There's even a
14.9% rate available with certain
First NBC checking accounts.
Every time you use your special
edition Tulane Visa or Master-
Card, it benefits the university.
That is because the Alumni Asso-ciation
receives a small percentage
of the credit card sales. The pro-ceeds
help finance class reunions,
chapters, career extemships, edu-cational
programs, and other activ-ities.
INSURANCE:
Temporary Major Medical
Insurance is available at a very
agreeable price to bridge the gap
until you are more permanendy in-sured
through a new employer or
graduate school. This program lets
you pick your own effective date
and purchase coverage for only
the length of time you need it,
from as few as 30 to as many as
185 days.
The Alumni Association pro-vides
graduating seniors one year
of Term Life Insurance up to
$5,000 at no cost to you. We will
pay your premium if you can
make the statement of good health
on the enrollment card provided
by the insurance company. At the
end of one year, you may increase
your insurance to five times your
no-cost amount at low alumni
group rates. Accepting our gift
will not obligate you later, but will
preserve your options for the years
following.
BOARD OF DIRF/'TORS:
The Board of Directors is the
governing body for alumni pro-grams.
It is comprised of five offi-cers,
two elected directors from
each of the 1 1 schools and colleg-es,
and six at-large members.
Nominations are solicited in the
Tulanian each winter. The Board
directs and addresses issues of
concern to alumni.
VOLUNTEERING:
Stay involved! Alumni are one
of the university's most valuable
assets. The Alumni Association
needs you to continue your rela-tionship
with your alma mater to
maintain its quality of excellence.
Volunteer opportunities include
assisting with student recruitment,
career networking with current
students, informing classmates
about your class reunions and
class gifts, or participating in an
alumni board, council, or commit-tee
work.
KEEP IN TOUCH:
Be sure and keep your address
updated with the university. Ad-dress
changes can be forwarded to
the records office: ADIS, 6316
Willow St., New Orleans, LA
701 18, or call (504)865-5121.

We know the years you'll study law, will be as good as the 4 years we saw!
We look forward to your graduation in May,
We will all be there on your "Special Day"!

You hold in your hands the ac-complishment
of the dream of an
amateur. Prior to my senior year in
college, I had never worked on a
yearbook staff, never attempted
photography, had done little edit-ing,
and never had anything pub-lished
for a wide audience. But
that all changed when I learned
that the Jambalaya, Tulane's year-book
since the 1890s, was to be
cancelled due to the lack of an edi-tor
and staff.
I can understand why the Jamb
could have faltered; I am part of
the problem. While my parents
bought a yearbook for each of the
three previous years, I had ne-glected
to get my picture taken, a
sin of omission that I shared with
about 90 percent of the student
body. I can understand the lack of
interest in taking on the job of edi-tor
if it seems the student body
does not care, for the editorial po-sition
of a major yearbook is a
huge responsibility. This I have
learned from attempting to pro-duce
a senior book.
When my senior year began, I
first felt the real need for some-thing
to be done. It seemed that I
was going to leave Tulane with no
record of my existence left behind.
Since I shared this lack of legacy
with the majority of my class, I
decided to do something about it.
As an officer in the newly orga-nized
Tulane University Student
Alumni Association (TUSAA), I
suggested that the best thing to do
for the Class of 1991 would be to
provide it with a yearbook. With
the help of a small group of peo-ple,
TUSAA has sponsored this
book and, I, an amateur, have at-tempted
to coordinate the process
of production.
As with any human endeavor,
no one person can lay claim to all
the glory. Therefore, I must thank
a great many people. First on my
list is Elaine Miller. Without her, I
really don't think this book would
have actually been produced. She
was there to when I needed ideas,
a volunteer to run the portrait table
and, with her experience in writing
copy, taking pictures and in de-sign,
much of this book has her
impact upon it.
Next on my list is Chris Carroll,
director of student media. Chris
provided the necessary realism re-quired
to temper the ambitious
dreams of an amateur. He knew
what was going on when he of-fered
to help TUSAA set up the
book. While we wrote the copy
and gathered the pictures, Chris
was essential in putting it all to-gether.
As my main base of sup-port,
Chris always came through
with an encouraging word when I
felt that the book just wasn't going
to happen.
The third person on my list is a
very special person. Kelly Bank-ston,
associate director of Alumni
Affairs, provided the initial impe-tus
in the formation of TUSAA.
When she contacted me in the
spring of 1990 with the proposal
of founding a new group, I was
immediately impressed by her
warm, funny nature and her dedi
cation to the University and to the
students. Without Kelly, TUSAA
would not have happened. My life,
and the Class of 1991, would have
been that much poorer as a result.
I want to thank the people that
formed the staff of the senior year-book.
We came up with the name
in a brainstorming session in the
living room of Xio Davis and Nat
FViebe, and they have consistendy
been helpful in producing and sell-ing
the book. Dan King probably
sat at the various booths and tables
selling the book more than anyone
else involved in the project. As a
volunteer not associated with
TUSAA, I want to thank Vanessa
Wilburn for her time and effort
spent in producing some of the
photography for this book. All of
these seniors were a great help
creating a legacy for our class.
While not formally on the staff,
I want to thank all the members of
TUSAA for the time they gave
during sales and senior portraits. I
want to thank Jerry Ward, Univer-sity
photographer, for the use of
his photo file. Many thanks go out
to the Hullabaloo for pictures and
other resources.
I have achieved a great many
things in my life and will continue
to strive for success. But
IMPACT '91 will always hold a
special place in my heart. It may
not be the best yearbook in the
world, but it is my book in a very
special way.
We are on the threshold of a
great and wonderful life. My chal-lenge
to the Class of 1991: re-member
the special relationship
we have with our alma mater. As
recognized by the national Student
Alumni Association, we students
are the focus of her goals and ob-jectives.
As alumni, we will repre-sent
the result of her mission and
the embodiment of her spirit in the
world. Let the heritage of Tulane
always be a part of our lives ~ as
we make our IMPACT upon the
world while making our dreams
come true.

The
Senior
Yearbook
Class of 1991
Tulane University
New Orleans, Louisiana

End. Beginning. "The End." "In
the beginning..." The English lan-guage
contains these descriptive
words which serve to enclose
events that make up the stories we
tell to ourselves about ourselves,
creating a conti-iuum of narratives,
each with beginning and end.
But words can fail when de-scribing
this, our senior year in
college. At the pinnacle of an edu-cational
experience shared only by
a minority of Americans, the sen-ior
year represents the end of the
party, the completion of a serious
course of study, the close of an
era. Time stops for no one, and
graduation is imminent.
But, one might say, the senior
year is a beginning. We have en-tered
adulthood, begun the search
for career and profession and are
now faced with the "real world."
Is the senior year an end providing
closure to an undergraduate expe-rience
or is it the beginning of
adult life?
Both are correct views. The sen-
. ior year is a threshold, the place
where the known ends and the un-known
begins. What makes the
senior year so special is this curi-ous
existence on the verge, the
brink, the threshold. We seek to
prolong the joys of youth — our
ability to sleep until noon on Tues-days,
to explore the depths of hu-man
knowledge, to imagine and
daydream, and to obtain a credit
card with no job, credit history, or
assets. Yet we are adults, or so we
repeatedly claim, yearning to enter
that world in which we have re-sponsibility
both for ourselves and
for others in the work place, in the
home, and in our adult relation-ships.
A senior is this creature on
the threshold, poised between the
comfortable world of Saturday
morning cartoons, late night rap
sessions in dorm rooms. Mom's
home cooking, and the unknown
somewhat frightening yet enticing
adult world of car phones, busi-ness
lunches, red tape, mortgage
payments, and the magic word,
independence.
The threshold time is a marve-lous
time. As a time of endings
and beginnings, we can look back,
surveying the ground over which
we have crossed as well as looking
forward, hoping and speculating
about the road ahead.
As a record of those times we
had, this book records the lives of
a group of very special people at a
very special place. We came to
Tulane as hesitant, bewildered
freshmen, unsure of our new
world and our place in it. In a very
short time, we have grown in con-fidence
and maturity, secure in
ourselves and in our alma mater.
The relationships we have created,
the ideas and knowledge we have
shared, the people we have helped,
the records we have set, the
awards we have won — all these
serve to show that upon ourselves,
upon our loved ones, and upon Tu-lane,
the Class of 1991 has made a
memorable and lasting IMPACT.

Newcomb
Newcomb College was founded
in 1886 by Josephine Louise New-comb
in honor of her daughter,
Sophie. The College moved to its
present location on Broadway in
1918. Until the middle of the
twentieth century, Newcomb func-tioned
as a coordinate division of
Tulane. In 1945, the women of
Newcomb and the men of Arts &
Sciences were allowed to cross
register and, by 1967, all classes
were co-ed. Newcomb's indepen-dence
was reaffirmed in 1987. The
faculties of the two colleges were
combined, but each retained con-trol
over its own affairs.
Newcomb College focuses on
offering women the finest oppor-tunities
to improve their academic,
personal and leadership skills.
Newcomb students can share in all
the advantages of the diverse Tu-lane
community and participate in
the many programs offered by the
college dedicated to the improve-ment
of women, such as the Wom-en's
Studies major.
Newcomb maintains its sense of
identity through various traditions,
such as the annual Spring Arts
Festival, the Mardi Gras Ball pre-sented
by the Krewe of Oaks, and
Celebrate Newcomb Week.
-Elaine Miller
Architecture
Founded in 1884, the oldest
school of architecture in the South
is located in the Richardson Me-morial
Hall on the Tulane Univer-sity
campus. The former medical
school building contains studios,
lecture and seminar rooms, an ex-hibition
lobby, a computer-aided
design facility, a workshop, and an
architecture library.
In addition to offering a nation-ally
accredited five year degree
program, the school sponsors fall
and spring lecture series, preserva-tion
and architecture symposia,
and summer programs in Venice
and Greece. Student-faculty inter-action
is high due to the small
class size. The Architectural Coa-lition,
a student-faculty collabora-tive
practice, is involved in local
and national design projects.
The Architecture School prides
itself on the diversity and creativi-ty
of the student body. The best
known tradition of the school
which exemplifies these qualities
is the annual Beaux Arts Ball.
-Keith Gerchak
Business
The business school of Tulane
University has a history almost as
long as the university itself. The
first professor of commerce in
Louisiana began teaching in 1847
in the academic department of the
University of Louisiana, forerun-ner
of Tulane University. The lat-ter
half of the century saw the re-organization
of the university with
the gift of Paul Tulane and the es-tablishment
of a separate College
of Commerce. By 1915, the Col-lege
began its first degree-granting
program, leading to both a Bache-lor
of Arts and Bachelor of Busi-ness
Administration and had be-come
one of the 17 founding
institutions of the American Asso-ciation
of Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB).
The modern A.B. Freeman
School of Business continues to
promote excellence in preparation
for work in the world of business
at both the graduate and under-graduate
levels, with the Execu-tive
MBA program ranked among
the top 20 in the country.

Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Scienc-es
traces its history back to the
founding of the University of
Louisiana in 1847 and the estab-lishment
of a department for in-struction
in arts and letters. De-spite
a seventeen year hiatus due
to the Civil War and Reconstruc-tion,
this academic department re-mained
a vital part of the Univer-sity.
With Paul Tulane's gift in
1884, when the uptown campus
was purchased, Tulane College
was split into the College of Tech-nology
and the College of Arts
and Sciences.
Unlike their predecessors who
commuted to the "streetcar" col-lege
in the swamps to the west of
the city of New Orleans, the mod-ern
students of A&S live on cam-pus
and in the surrounding resi-dential
neighborhoods. The
College remains dedicated, how-ever,
to providing a challenging
education to capable, motivated
students, continuing the long tradi-tion
of excellence.
-Scott Hetrick
Enj^inccring
Originally part of Tulane Col-lege
and later named the School of
Technology, the College of Engi-neering
has long been devoted to
providing the best possible educa-tion
to its students, seeking the
best equipment, faculty and pro-grams.
The majority of students
participate in the four-year under-graduate
programs leading to a
Bachelor of Science in Engineer-ing,
choosing one of six possible
concentrations: biomedical, chem-ical,
civil, computer, electrical, or
mechanical. In addition, the Col-lege
offers a B.S. in Computer
Science and an "Engineering Cur-riculum"
special program which
enables undergraduates to study
such areas as engineering manage-ment,
engineering science, applied
physics, technical writing, or envi-ronmental
engineering. The Col-lege
remains a vital part of Tulane
by maintaining its strong, separate
identity while reflecting the over-all
excellence of the University.
-Natalie Priebe
University College
University College was estab-lished
in 1942 as the continuing
education division of Tulane. It re-ceived
its name because its offer-ings
cut across university academ-ic
fields. The College offers
degree programs, certificate pro-grams,
and non-credit courses to
meet the part-time educational
needs of the adults of the New Or-leans
community, the demands of
international students and the re-quirements
of a limited number of
full-time students in special degree
areas. The College shares in the
traditions of Tulane, extending the
commitments and resources of the
University beyond customary aca-demic
boundaries. The programs
are designed to answer the chal-lenges
of an increasingly technical
and specialized society -- one in
which continuing personal growth
is an important asset.
-Kelly Bankston
The word "activity" is derived
from "active," which is defined as
"working hard or with energy;
busy and energetic" or "in a state
of action, not passive or quies-cent."
The thousands of Tulane
students involved in student activi-ties
epitomize these definitions.
Every day of the week, at any
hour, Tulane students are working,
changing, helping, administrating
and affecting. It is here that Tu-lane's
Class of 1991 has made a
significant IMPACT.
The Associated Student Body
(ASB) is one of Tulane's most vis-ible
groups. Composed of repre-sentatives
from every college, the
ASB actively represents the inter-ests
and ideas of the student body,
providing a forum for change
based on the student viewpoint of
the University. The ASB members
of the Class of 1991 helped in the
major accomplishments of the
year; including the publication of
course evaluations and the instal-lation
of an off-campus shuttle.
Student Activities
w
Celebrate Difference, although
only three years old, played an ac-tive
role in the education of the
Tulane community in the value of
diversity. Some 40 campus organi-zations
are affiliated with the Cel-ebrate
Difference pact of non-toleration
for racism, sexism, and
other forms of prejudice, hatred
and discrimination.
One of the fastest growing
groups on campus during 1990-91
was the Green Club. The major
task of the club was its effort to
promote environmental awareness
in the university community, rais-ing
the consciousness of adminis-trators,
students, faculty, and staff
about the issues of environmental
impact. By working with the ASB,
the administration and Recycle
Tulane, the Green Club has moved
Tulane towards its goal of a cam-pus-
wide recycling program.

Nights and weekends would not
be the same without TUCP, Tu-lane
University Campus Program-ming.
As one of the largest organi-zations
on campus, TUCP keeps
everyone active, providing mo-vies,
speakers, concerts, and
TGIFs, as well as special events
like the annual All-Nighter.
CACTUS, the Community Ac-tion
Council of Tulane University
Students, sends hundreds of highly
motivated volunteers into the cam-pus
and the community each se-mester.
The range of the 18 major
CACTUS projects illustrates the
level of activity among Tulane stu-dents
and how they can make an
impact on the wider world. CAC-TUS
volunteers contradict the
myth of student apathy by tutoring
underprivileged children in hous-ing
projects, volunteering in hospi-tals,
teaching illiterate adults to
read, providing first aid to revelers
at Mardi Gras, tutoring prisoners,
working in soup kitchens, support-ing
peers on the Peer Support Net-work
hotline, raising money to
combat multiple sclerosis ... the
list goes on and on. These volun-teers
are certainly "in a state of
action."
The creative student can find
many opportunities to be energet-ic,
and Tulane seniors were in the
forefront of creative production.
Diversity of outlets seemed to be
the rule, with students involved in
writing, editing, and photography
for the Hullabaloo, writing and
drawing for the Tulane Literary
Magazine, acting in Campus Nite
and Tulane Theatre productions,
singing in the Tulanians, playing
in the Sound Wave, forming new
groups such as the dance team
Shock Wave and the musical trio
Showstoppers, and producing sev-eral
weekly television shows with
the Tulane University Video Ac-cess
Center(TUVAC).
WTUL, at 91.5 on your FM
dial, provides a fascinating variety
of music. The highly touted station
is firmly established in the New
Orleans music scene as the pro-gressive
alternative to commercial
radio, with programming that in-cludes
new age, progressive, clas-sical,
country, thrash metal, jazz
and other New Orleans inspired
music. The most visible impact
that the station makes on the com-munity
has been and continues to
be the Rock-On Survival Mara-thon
Weekend. This event is held
each spring to raise money for the
purpose of continued operation.
WTUL Marathon is the biggest
quad party of the year. By provid-ing
two to three days of fun in the
sun with local bands, an arts &
crafts fair, food stands and WTUL
t-shirt sales, the radio station
makes a substantial impact on the
student body.
Every year, the Student Admis-sion
Committee (SACj catches a
glimpse of the future of the uni-versity.
As ambassadors represent-ing
Tulane to the thousands of
high school students who journey
to New Orleans in the search for
the ideal college choice, SAC
members provide an enthusiastic,
energetic summary of what Tulane
is and can be. By hosting students,
giving tours of the campus, and
working with the Office of Under-graduate
Admissions in the organ-ization
of the two Preview Confer-ences
in the spring, the Student
Admission Committee attempts to
impart the spirit of the energetic
activity of campus life to those
who will continue the tradition of
students making an IMPACT.
Athletics
A "slam dunk," a
"sack," a "zulu," a
"grand-slam," a "goal," a
"spike": these terms rep-resent
moments of deter-mination
and spirit, skill
and teamwork. Tulane
sports, both club and
varsity, have many
players who exhibit
these qualities as they
strive to make an
IMPACT on the score-board,
the fans, and the
record books.
Women's Volleyball
The Tulane Lady
Wave volleyball team
finished with an overall
record of 19-13 and a
Metro Conference
record of 2-6. This
record placed the team
sixth in regular season
conference competition.
The most significant
player was senior Erin
Fogarty, who provided
much of the leadership
for the team. Recording
561 kills and 399 digs in
the year and leading the
team in both categories,
Fogarty was named to
the All-Metro team with
her career high 39 kills
against Auburn.
Sailing
With Ail-American
Alex Ascencios, A&S
senior, at the helm, the
Tulane Sailing Club had
a tremendous fall semes-ter.
The club won the
Longhom Cup in Austin
early in the semester and
won the First Dinghy
Qualifier the next week-end
in Mobile. The club
returned to familiar wa-ters
with its victory at
the Southeastern Inter-collegiate
Sailing Asso-ciation
Sloop District
Qualifiers on Lake Pon-chartrain
in late Septem-ber.
The month of October
saw victories for Tulane
at the Naval Academy's
Fall Invitational, at
which Tulane placed
eighth out of 20, and the
Baldwin Wood Memori-al
Fall Invitational, at
which Tulane took the
overall team title. As-cencios
went on to sail
in Kalamazoo, Mich, in
the Single-Handed Na-tional
Championships,
securing a third place
finish.
Tulane raced in the
Charleston Fall Invita-tional,
taking first place.
and the Intercollegiate
Yacht Racing Associa-tion
Sloop National
Championships, coming
in second. Tulane was
ranked seventh national-ly
at the end of the se-mester,
an accomplish-ment
for a club team in a
sport dominated by var-sity
teams.

Rugby
The Tulane Rugby
Club celebrated its 23rd
anniversary in 1990 and
had a very good season.
With 70 members from
Tulane and Loyola, the
team came very close to
winning the national
championships. The
club was divided into
two teams: an A team
which included under-graduates
from Tulane
and Loyola, and a B
team comprised of grad-uate
students from those
schools.
The club had several
major victories in the
fall semester. The first
was its victory at the
Deep South Champion-ship
for university Rug-by
clubs in October, at
which the A team de-feated
Southern Missis-sippi
18-0, Southeastern
Louisiana 13-0, and
LSU 12-9. The very
next weekend, the A
team went on to defeat
the New Orleans Rugby
Club, the Deep South
men's rugby club cham-pions.
While not partici-pating
in the Deep South
tournament, the B team,
a member of the SEC,
went to Athens, Ga. for
the SEC tournament.
Coming in second at the
tournament, the B team
defeated Georgia State
18-0, Savannah College
of Architecture 6-3, Uni-versity
of Alabama 26-9,
but lost the final match
against University of
Georgia 12-3.
Men's Soccer
Despite an early sea-son
violation of the club
sports rules about alco-hol
at sporting events,
the men's soccer team
11
went on to place second
in the SEC in the fall. A
high point of the semes-ter
was the shutout of
LSU, the first defeat of
the Tigers since 1987.
The game was marred
by a bench-clearing
brawl in the last 30 sec-onds
when an LSU
player spat in the face of
a Tulane player near the
Tulane goal. The team
was undefeated for a
major portion of the se-mester
until losing to the
University of Southern
Mississippi at the Gulf
Coast League Champi-onship
held at Tulane.
With a record of 5-1-2,
the team took second
place in the SEC.
Baseball
The big news for Tu-lane
baseball fans in the
fall semester was the
dedication of the
Turchin Stadium.
Named for Robert and
Lillian Turchin, who
have been benefactors of
Tulane baseball for
many years, the stadium
was expanded to hold
3,000 people and a light-ing
system to enable Tu-lane
night baseball. Due
to concerns about
crowds and noise, only
about half of the games
were to be played under
the lights.
Men's Basketball
With a 4-24 record in
the first year back after a
five-year hiatus, the
Green Wave men's bas-ketball
team looked for-ward
to a much im-proved
season at the
start of the 1990-91
year. Hoops were defi-nitely
back at Tulane as
the Fogelman Arena
consistently was packed
with capacity crowds.
As perhaps the most
popular sport of Tulane
students, the team did
not disappoint its many
fans. 1989 was the year
12
hoops came back to Tu-lane;
1990 was the year
the team matured and
improved. The frenzy of
the first year was in-creased
as the Wave
won game after game.
1990 was the year of
the "Posse," led by sen-ior
Michael Christian
and consisting of fresh-men
Kim Lewis, Carlin
Hartman, and Makeba
Perry. Coming in all at
once after the first few
minutes of every game
and relieving every
player except 1989
Freshman-of-the-Year
Anthony Reed, the
Posse was Coach Perry
Clark's weapon to con-trol
the tempo of the
game.
Senior Joe Passi did
not have much game
time but was a perennial
crowd favorite, as "Pas-si's
Posse" was formed
among fans rooting for
the "genial giant."
In tripling the number
of wins over the 1989-
90 season with a 15-12
regular season record,
the Wave appeared
posed for continued suc-cess.
This was mainly
due to the youth of the
team, with sophomores
Anthony Reed (for-ward),
G.J. Hunter
(guard), and Matt Popp
(center), and juniors
Greg Gary (guard) and
David Whitmore (guard/
forward) rounding out
the starting lineup.
Similar to the 1989-
90 season, the young
team captured a dazzling
victory that will resonate
in the minds of Tulane
fans for a long time to
come. Twentieth-ranked
University of New Or-leans,
a cross town rival,
came to Fogelman
13
Arena expecting victory.
What they got was a
game that stretched to
double overtime and a
Wave victory 84-83 on
David Whitmore's win-ning
three-pointer at the
horn. Hoops were defi-nitely
back and posi-tioned
for a long and
glorious stay.
Football
The Tulane football
team had one of those
seasons in which the
team displayed spirit
and skill, but were de-nied
victory because of
bad breaks. The season
was rough as the Wave
ended with a 4-7 record.
14
But this record was
somewhat deceiving.
Aside from a horrendous
48-6 loss to the Univer-sity
of Southwestern
Louisiana, Tulane lost
three games by one
touchdown or less. With
a little luck and fewer
hard breaks, the record
might have been 7-4.
Tulane was showing
much improvement by
the end of the season.
The 26-24 upset of
bowl-bound Syracuse
and the heart-wrenching
16-13 loss to LSU
showed how capable the
team was, losing to LSU
on the scoreboard but
dominating the Tigers in
time of possession, num-ber
of forced turnovers,
and overall yardage.
The Green Wave was
led by senior Deron
Smith at quarterback.
The receiving corps was
outstanding as usual and
led by seniors Melvin
Ferdinand and Jeff Kin-yo.
Tulane's running at-tack
was a strong asset
this year with under-classmen
Terrence
Strickland and Chance
Miller as its mainstays.
Once again, Tulane
played tough defense as
the key positions were
manned by returning
seniors Jay Rink, Leroy
Brown, Pat Stant, Bryan
Ryder, Lenzer Burton,
Corey Dowden, Vince
Mulmore, Mike Riley,
Darrell Sherer and An-drew
Treadway.

Tidal
Wave '90
Tidal Wave '90, "Tracking the
Big One," began Tuesday, Oct. 23
with a football player appreciation
and song competition night in Der
Rathskeller. Spirits were rising on
campus Wednesday as the Inter-fraternity
Council All-Star game
was played on the UC Quad. Go
Green Day provided the back-ground
for the Spirit and Games
Competition on Thursday. Greeks,
residence halls and student organi-zaitons
battled one another on
Bruff Quad in volleyball, water
balloon toss, three-legged and
wheelbarrow races, human pyra-mid
building and cheering compe-titions.
After all the throwing, fall-ing,
shouting, tossing, cheering,
groaning and general craziness
had passed, AKA, ZBT, Zemurray
and the Hullabaloo were declared
the winners.
Tulane students participated in a
tidal wave's worth of activities on
Friday afternoon and evening. Be-ginning
at 3 p.m. on the UC Quad,
the Tidal Wave carnival, complete
with a space jump, games of
chance, make-your-own tape
booth and balloon-twisting clown,
entertained students as they waited
for the end of the McAlister Mile
Race and Homecoming Parade.
Just after 102 runners completed
the race, the Tidal Wave parade
poured down McAlister. The pa-rade
featured the Homecoming
Court, led by King Bill Lombard
and Queen Dm McGovem, and in-cluded
marching units and floats
created by such groups as the Pan-hellenic
Council, the Navy ROTC,
several fraternities, the cheerlead-ers
and others.
A Tulane favorite, Charmaine
Neville, took the stage at 5:30
p.m. before a large and enthusias-tic
crowd on the UC Quad. After
her spirited hour and a half perfor-mance,
Charmaine handed the
stage over to Tidal Wave member
Ted Bittenbender, who began the
pep rally be introducing the Court,
Coach Greg Davis, and the Tulane
Green Wave football team. The
cheerleaders led the crowd in sev-eral
spirited cheers. President Ea-mon
Kelly made an appearance,
telling the crowd to keep up the
noise and cheering and go on to
win Homecoming! After the pep
rally, the festivities continued into
the night with a performance by
the band Common Knowledge.
The emotional high continued
to be maintained at the Great Tail-gate
Party, sponsored by TUSAA.
Meeting at the Heliport next to the
Superdome, some 400 students,
alumni and friends of the universi-ty
rocked with WCKW's Weird
Wayne, who was broadcasting live
from the site. With food and
drinks provided by the Boot,
Lucky Dog and Domino's and
spirited cheers led by the Tulane
cheerleaders, the mood was festive
at the Heliport. The Tulane Navy
16
ROTC turned out in force, with a
tailgate party setup worthy of D-Day.
The level of excitement was
high as the Tulane fans entered the
Superdome. The team seemed to
be excited as well and did not dis-appoint
the fans. The Tulane
Green Wave drowned the Cincin-nati
Bearcats by the score of 49-7.
After the victory, it was time again
to party. Throngs of students
moved from the Dome of Doom to
the French Market Room of the
Hyatt Regency for the Tidal Wave
Dance. With music provided by
Rockin' Dopsie, Tribe Nunzio, and
George Porter and Friends, Tulane
students danced the night away.
Congratulations were the order
of the day for Tidal Wave Chair-man
J. Maddox, Vice-Chairman
Stephanie Pearson, and Secretary
Rachel Epstein as well as to the
rest of the dedicated staff. Their
efforts created a tremendous week
of great activities.

You hold in your hands the ac-complishment
of the dream of an
amateur. Prior to my senior year in
college, I had never worked on a
yearbook staff, never attempted
photography, had done little edit-ing,
and never had anything pub-lished
for a wide audience. But
that all changed when I learned
that the Jambalaya, Tulane's year-book
since the 1890s, was to be
cancelled due to the lack of an edi-tor
and staff.
I can understand why the Jamb
could have faltered; I am part of
the problem. While my parents
bought a yearbook for each of the
three previous years, I had ne-glected
to get my picture taken, a
sin of omission that I shared with
about 90 percent of the student
body. I can understand the lack of
interest in taking on the job of edi-tor
if it seems the student body
does not care, for the editorial po-sition
of a major yearbook is a
huge responsibility. This I have
learned from attempting to pro-duce
a senior book.
When my senior year began, I
first felt the real need for some-thing
to be done. It seemed that I
was going to leave Tulane with no
record of my existence left behind.
Since I shared this lack of legacy
with the majority of my class, I
decided to do something about it.
As an officer in the newly orga-nized
Tulane University Student
Alumni Association (TUSAA), I
suggested that the best thing to do
for the Class of 1991 would be to
provide it with a yearbook. With
the help of a small group of peo-ple,
TUSAA has sponsored this
book and, I, an amateur, have at-tempted
to coordinate the process
of production.
As with any human endeavor,
no one person can lay claim to all
the glory. Therefore, I must thank
a great many people. First on my
list is Elaine Miller. Without her, I
really don't think this book would
have actually been produced. She
was there to when I needed ideas,
a volunteer to run the portrait table
and, with her experience in writing
copy, taking pictures and in de-sign,
much of this book has her
impact upon it.
Next on my list is Chris Carroll,
director of student media. Chris
provided the necessary realism re-quired
to temper the ambitious
dreams of an amateur. He knew
what was going on when he of-fered
to help TUSAA set up the
book. While we wrote the copy
and gathered the pictures, Chris
was essential in putting it all to-gether.
As my main base of sup-port,
Chris always came through
with an encouraging word when I
felt that the book just wasn't going
to happen.
The third person on my list is a
very special person. Kelly Bank-ston,
associate director of Alumni
Affairs, provided the initial impe-tus
in the formation of TUSAA.
When she contacted me in the
spring of 1990 with the proposal
of founding a new group, I was
immediately impressed by her
warm, funny nature and her dedi
cation to the University and to the
students. Without Kelly, TUSAA
would not have happened. My life,
and the Class of 1991, would have
been that much poorer as a result.
I want to thank the people that
formed the staff of the senior year-book.
We came up with the name
in a brainstorming session in the
living room of Xio Davis and Nat
FViebe, and they have consistendy
been helpful in producing and sell-ing
the book. Dan King probably
sat at the various booths and tables
selling the book more than anyone
else involved in the project. As a
volunteer not associated with
TUSAA, I want to thank Vanessa
Wilburn for her time and effort
spent in producing some of the
photography for this book. All of
these seniors were a great help
creating a legacy for our class.
While not formally on the staff,
I want to thank all the members of
TUSAA for the time they gave
during sales and senior portraits. I
want to thank Jerry Ward, Univer-sity
photographer, for the use of
his photo file. Many thanks go out
to the Hullabaloo for pictures and
other resources.
I have achieved a great many
things in my life and will continue
to strive for success. But
IMPACT '91 will always hold a
special place in my heart. It may
not be the best yearbook in the
world, but it is my book in a very
special way.
We are on the threshold of a
great and wonderful life. My chal-lenge
to the Class of 1991: re-member
the special relationship
we have with our alma mater. As
recognized by the national Student
Alumni Association, we students
are the focus of her goals and ob-jectives.
As alumni, we will repre-sent
the result of her mission and
the embodiment of her spirit in the
world. Let the heritage of Tulane
always be a part of our lives ~ as
we make our IMPACT upon the
world while making our dreams
come true.
